This is a curious addition to the burgeoning | This is a curious addition to the burgeoning Bob Dylan canon: 47 years ago the great troubadour wrote some lyrics which he never got around to writing tunes for. In recent times he passed these on to ubiquitous producer and man-about-town [[T Bone Burnett]] and gently enquired if he could find a use for them. T Bone rounded up Elvis Costello, [[Marcus Mumford]], [[Jim James]] of New Morning Jacket, [[Rhiannon Giddens]] (of Carolina Chocolate Drops) and [[Taylor Goldsmith]] (of Dawes) and asked them to write the missing music and provide the absent vocals. Highlights include the full Jim James guitar and vocal treatment on "[[Down On The Bottom|Down on the Bottom]]"; an inspired Costello on "[[Married To My Hack|Married to My Hack]]"; a lovely vocal from Giddens that gilds "[[Spanish Mary]]"; and a very decent turn from Mumford on "[[Kansas City (song)|Kansas City]]." There are two takes on title track "[[Lost On The River No. 12|Lost on the River]]." The first is by Costello, who wrote the music and gives it his all. The second is sung by Giddens, who trumps that. Not a Dylan album, really, but enormously rewarding. | ||
